The DentalPANDA is a project that grew out of a frustrating attempt to pass the NBDE part I and II. In the pursuit of US accreditation, this New Zealand-trained Australian general dentist undertook a long 9 month journey of intense study to prepare for the 2 tests required, while working full time. All the while, wondering…
"WHY IS THIS SO HARD"
I had been working for over a decade in clinical practice, but it had been a long time since being immersed in full-time study, so it took a little time getting into “study mode”. Like many do, I reached out to see what study guides were available, only to find the majority of NBDE study tools were outdated, expensive, and of limited help. With the introduction of the new Integrated National Board Dental Examination, I set out to create the study tool that I wished I had when I was studying! An aid that is comprehensive, systematic, intuitive, and utilizes modern study technique to boost preparation efficiency and improve results!
The DentalPANDA platform is custom built to see you pass the INBDE first try! It was written in 3 countries over 3 years, drawing on updated dental science, current clinical experience, and modern study practices. It features 80+ high-yield chapters organized into 9 courses, and contains in excess of 1000 newly curated questions modelled after the new INBDE exam format. The DentalPANDA will not slowly age into irrelevance! Every week new material is added to keep you updated with changes in the dental field to make sure you don’t get left behind.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is DentalPANDA?
DentalPANDA is a comprehensive study tool and dynamic practice question bank specifically designed for mastering the new Integrated National Board Dental Examination (INBDE). It features over 1000 custom built questions and 80 high-yield chapters, all contained within 10 focused dental courses.
What makes DentalPANDA stand out?
Many study tools and examination simulators sell themselves on the number of questions in their question bank. These questions are often oversimplified adaptations from the now replaced National Board Dental Examination part I and II. DentalPANDA has set out to completely rewrite its entirely library to help you master the new Integrated National Board Dental Examination.
Does DentalPANDA include photos and radiographs?
YES! Our library includes hundreds of clinical photos, radiographs, graphs, tables, illustrations and more! All hand-picked and curated to make your preparation as efficient and pain free as possible.
Who created the DentalPANDA resources?
This study tool was born out of the frustration of studying for the INBDE. Current study aids seem to be either composed of old recycled Part II & II content, or tend to be very expensive! The DentalPANDA study tool aims to be a fresh, comprehensive, affordable solution to effectively prepare for the Integrated National Board Dental Examination. For more about DentalPANDA, see our ABOUT page.
How much does DentalPANDA membership cost?
There are three simple membership tiers to choose from. A month-month membership will permit you access to all content in our library for as long as you need it. There is no lock in contract and you are free to cancel any time! The 3 month pass is our most popular option. Since the average examinee will take more than 30 days to prepare for the INBDE, this membership option will be sufficient for most people, usually at only $33/month! For those who think they may take a little longer to prepare, our 1 year pass usually comes in at less than $20/month. For more about pricing see our membership section.
What is the INBDE pass guarantee?
We are so confident in our resource that we’re sure you’ll be able to pass the Integrated National Board Dental Examination on your first try. If you are enrolled in an accredited dental program, give preparation your best shot, but still fail to pass the INDBDE, DentalPANDA will refund your membership costs. For more about the INBDE pass guarantee, see our Terms and Conditions.
